I know the prophet is speaking of Israel but it makes me think of the way America is headed also..... America is standing for evil and we (the church) must repent as the kingdom of God is At hand...
In this chapter God viewed the Israelites' sins as wicked as the nations of Sodom and Gomorrah. They had fallen so far, but Jehovah God was laying their sins bare and giving them a warning before he took action against them.
my comments realy would not count because i don,t have much understanding i believe in god and the blessed thrinty i believe isaiah was a very great man of GOD. that which i cannot understand i try to make up with good deeds toward my fellow man
My dark soul, full of sin, was struck down, burned as stubble in 1992. Since then the world has taught me to flee back to find Him and his Word. I simply cannot stay long in the world, full of lies, corruption, and false gods enticing. Sin is slavery and now my mission expands to visit a prison in Haiti. Amidst total darkness 3000 men crowd a facility designed to allow them to only stand. Kurt.
South Sudan is on fire right now. Just the first chapter speaks volumes to its people. Repent, repent, repent. We have angered God. Time to seek His face.
The Holy Spirit came to me to read out of The Book Of Isaiah,I wasn't given a chapter or a verse, just to read the Book Of Isaiah, so is there anyone who can tell me where to start.
I truly love the book of Isaiah,because when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, the second verse that the Holy Spirit lead me to turn to was Isaiah 1:18.Isaiah is a very powerful book, every chapter.One must read it slowly and ingest its beauty.
I find the Book of Isaiah very deep, and have some understanding, but majority I do not comprehend. Still learning!
I found this site which has commentaries, which helps a lot!
Ahoents Ernest, Can you give us scripture that tells us to "reason" with God? What I see in scripture is "believe" in and on Jesus Christ. But I would like to see scripture that gives what you say substance. thank you
Chapter 1:18 zEither as a individual or a nation ,God is willing to forgive our sins ,we are to turn from our ways of innitly, by overcoming the weights that can so easiy beset us ,so we are aware and know their is a warfare between good and evil going on in our members the mind one example ,that will be an on going battle,between the flesh and the spirit ,until the Lord comes back again.
Piggy back to the comment by LL regarding, Christians are protected, we must remember, scriptures also states in KJV the book of Matthew 5 verse 45, That ye may be children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
responds to ms. Dusty; do you think perhaps the message/lesson(s) we are meant to learn from the prophetic books are just as valid in the 21st century - repent while you still can, trust in the LORD for your salvation? That same message for "stubborn rebellious children" still resonates true? How's that sound to you?
Isaiah 1 is a reflection of the times we have entered into especially in the United States we have forsaken the God that has blessed this nation in the past because we obeyed him and now we have turned our back on God and went after false God's and left for the love of money. We have become rebellious like he said and refuse to hear him until something tragic happens. It sad that's the only time people now a days take the time to hear what thus saith the Lord until misfortune come. I pray that this nation will turn back their hearts and minds to God and allow him to rid this nation of it's impurities.
The mentioning of Sodom and Gommorah, also reminds me of the now times..if you noticed since the passing of bills all over the country for gay rights, that same behavior was extremely prevalent back then and both cities were destroyed. In addition, Bible prophecy states that people will be waxed cold...and boy are they! This country is in bad shape and a lot of that has to do with the expulsion of God in this country. People are really disobedient and moving God out of schools and other places, has caused havoc and it already is doing just that, this country is no longer protected but we as Christians, nothing will harm us..so we need to stay prayed up to intercede. God be with us
It's soo scary the days we are in every thing I just seen in Isaiah is the u.s.a down to a tee I pray to JESUS that they stop come to repent 2015 is the 7th yr sence the depression of 08. The LORD MAY JUDGE THIS COUNTRY LIKE NEVER BE FOR LOVE U GUYS GOD BLESS U
mathew 24:12 is even a word of God happening everyd. Love of those that is waxing cold are both the non-christian, and wicked ungrateful christians. Anyone who is not straight-forward and open mind to God and man, his or her love will aways wax cold. Remember no one can see God ordinarily, that is why God said we should learn to do good in the book of isaiah 1:16-17.
God is ever ready and willing to receive us back if we can make a sincere turn from our evil life style.I advice we do it now that we still have the opportunity because the next one second might be too late.

2. What might be some reasons a person would ignore God's chastening hand?
3. What are three words would you use to describe Judah's worship of God?
4. Why are the words "before mine eyes" so important in God's instruction to Judah?
Would love to know these answers! Thanks and God Bless!
